Marvel Rivals is a team-based hero PvP shooter that features iconic and fan-favorite superheroes including our resident smart-mouth Tony Stark's Iron Man.
This particular hero has been available since the early access versions of the game and possesses solid abilities, making him a great pick for beginner players.
Using the right ability at the right time and knowing when to use your Ultimate is key to mastering how to play Iron Man.
Iron Man's Abilities
The first thing you should know about this Marvel Rivals hero is his abilities, which focus on his technologically superior suit. Your primary attack is known as Repulsor Blast and fires nano pulse cannons forward in the direction that you are facing.
Next, your secondary attack is known as Unibeam and will fire a unibeam forward when you press the button. These are two very solid ranged attacks that you can use to damage enemy heroes without getting too close, according to ScreenRant.
Now, it's time to learn about Iron Man's abilities, and the first one up is the Team-Up Ability known as Gamma Overdrive.
This can be done alongside The Hulk where he will charge Iron Man with gamma radiation. When Iron Man uses Armor Overdrive, he will initiate a gamma upgrade.
Hyper-Velocity is one of Iron Man's abilities and will activate the Hyper-Velocity state that enables swift forward flight movement. Next is Armor Overdrive, which activates Armor Overdrive state that boosts the damage of Repulsor Blast and Unibeam attacks.
Lastly is the Micro-Missile Barrage ability, which when used with either Hyper-Velocity or Armor Overdrive, allows Iron Man to launch a missile bombardment. Now for the Ultimate Ability, Iron Man's is called Invincible Pulse Cannon, said TurtleBeach.
This character's Ultimate Ability fires a devastating pulse cannon in the targeted location that will deal catastrophic damage to enemy heroes in the target area.
Iron Man's Playstyle
When it comes to playing Iron Man in Marvel Rivals, it's important to keep moving around and stay mobile while dealing as much damage from a distance.
Using Hyper-Velocity lets you move around the map quickly to reposition yourself for a better angle or escape imminent threats.
Because Iron Man can fly, staying for as long as you can in the air makes you a harder target to deal with, especially when your teammates are on the ground bashing at your enemies as well.
Also, since Armor Overdrive buffs your weapon's damage, you should use it before engaging in fights to deal the most damage, according to Dexerto.
